Translated from Chinese

监控能量分配设备至少一个部件的方法和自动化系统 Method for monitoring the energy dispensing apparatus and at least one component of the automation system

[0001] 为了监控和/或为了控制技术设备，目前通常采用所谓的自动化系统。 [0001] In order to monitor and / or control techniques for equipment now commonly used the so-called automated system.技术设备例如是指用于执行生产工艺技术过程或工业制造过程的设备，或者用于产生或分配电能的设备。 Equipment, for example, refers to an apparatus for performing the process of production technology or industrial manufacturing process, or a device for generating or distribution of electrical energy.这种技术设备通常具有不同的设备部件，它们依据一定规则的协作保证了技术设备的期望的运行。 Such equipment typically have different pieces of equipment, which according to certain rules to ensure the desired collaboration technology equipment operation.为了能控制和/或监控技术设备，设置借助传感器采集该技术设备的各个部件的状态并大多传送给上级控制台的自动化系统。 In order to control and / or monitoring equipment, the sensor is provided by means of the acquisition status of the various components of the equipment and transferred to the upper most of the console automation systems.从控制台可以对技术设备进行调节和控制，其方法是向自动化系统的执行器输出命令，然后这些命令直接作用于技术设备。 Can be adjusted and controlled from the console of the equipment, which is an output command to the actuator of the automated system, then these commands act directly on the equipment.

[0002] 公知的还使用图像采集设备作为自动化系统的传感器。 [0002] is also known as a sensor using an image capture device of the automation system.例如在德国专利公开文本DE 4402779A1中公开了一种具有摄像机的观察系统，其中借助该摄像机对拍摄的图像数据进行数字化，并传送给特定的、事先设置的控制台。 For example, discloses a system having a camera observation in German patent publication DE 4402779A1, in which the camera means of the captured image data is digitized, and transmitted to a particular console set in advance.

[0003] 此外由美国专利文献US5805813公开了一种用于监控技术设备的设备部件的方法，该技术设备的形式是能量分配网络的中间站，其中在设备部件上借助照相机例如采集测量和监控设备的光学显示。 [0003] Also disclosed by the United States Patent Document US5805813 a method of monitoring apparatus components for technical equipment, the equipment is in the form of an energy distribution network of intermediate stations, for example, wherein the acquisition means of measuring and monitoring equipment in the camera device on member optical display.然后，借助计算机系统分析这样采集的图像数据，使得通过自动图像识别而识别出各测量设备的状态并与预先给定的相应阈值进行比较。 Then, the image data collected by such a computer system analysis, and so by the automatic image recognition device recognizes the state of each measured and compared with a corresponding predetermined threshold.如果超过阈值，则产生警报信号并例如传送给特定的控制台。 If the threshold is exceeded, an alarm signal is generated and transmitted to a specific example of the console.

[0004] 但是在所述方法中采用的图像识别实现起来比较费事，并且要用很高的计算能力来实现。 [0004] However, in the image recognition process employed relatively cumbersome to implement and use the high computing power to implement.此外控制台的操作人员不能检验图像识别结果的正确性。 Further the operator console not verify the correctness of the image recognition result.

[0005] 本发明要解决的技术问题在于提供一种用于监控技术设备的至少一种设备部件的方法和自动化系统，其中可以对设备部件的图像数据进行比较灵活的访问。 [0005] The present invention is to solve the technical problem is to provide at least a method and a system for automatic monitoring equipment for an apparatus member, which may be more flexible access to the image data apparatus member.

[0006] 按照本发明，该技术问题是通过一种借助控制和/或监控技术设备的自动化系统来监控该技术设备的至少一个设备部件的方法解决的，其中由至少一个图像采集装置产生该至少一个设备部件的图像数据，将采集的图像数据传送给服务器-数据处理装置并存储在那里，将存储的图像数据发送给客户机_数据处理装置，并借助该客户机-数据处理装置的显示装置作为图像显示所发送的图像数据。 [0006] According to the present invention, this technical problem is achieved by a means of controlling and / or monitoring equipment automation system to monitor the equipment at least one method of solving the apparatus components, wherein the means for generating at least one image acquiring at least the image data of a piece of equipment, the server transmits the image data acquisition to - data processing means and stored therein, transmits the stored image data to the client _ data processing apparatus, and by the client - the data processing means display means as the image data of the image display transmitted.本发明解决方案的重要优点在于，借助客户机-数据处理装置几乎可以在任意地点访问所采集的设备部件的图像数据。 Important advantage of the solution according to the invention is that by means of a client - data of the image data processing device member in the apparatus can access almost anywhere collected.从而不再需要固定对应于一个接收该图像数据的控制中心。 Eliminating the need for receiving a fixed control center corresponding to the image data.因为所采集的图像数据首先存储在通常设置在图像采集装置附近的服务器_数据处理装置上，并保存在那里以便由客户机_数据处理装置调用。 Because the acquired image data is first stored on the server data processing _ means is usually provided in the vicinity of the image pickup apparatus and stored there for the data processing apparatus by a client _ invoked.客户机-数据处理装置可以通过任意通信连接、尤其是通过通信网络与服务器-数据处理装置连接。 The client - the data processing apparatus may be connected by any communication, especially with the server via a communication network - data processing apparatus is connected.这种网络例如可以是所谓的局域网（LAN)、广域网（WAN)或者是企业内部网络或互联网。 Such a network may be, for example, so-called local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN) or the internal corporate network or the Internet.由此几乎可以从任意地点、即灵活地访问服务器-数据处理装置。 Thus almost, i.e., flexible access to the server from anywhere - the data processing means.数据传输可以有线或无线地进行，例如通过无线电或通过红外射线。 Data transmission may be wired or wireless, for example by radio or by infrared radiation.

[0007] 本发明方法的优选实施方式在于，为了调用存储在服务器-数据处理装置上的图像数据，由客户机-数据处理装置向服务器_数据处理装置发送电子查询，将存储在服务器_数据处理装置上的图像数据作为对该电子查询的响应发送给客户机_数据处理装置。 [0007] Preferred embodiments of the method of the present invention is that, in order to call stored in the server - the image data on a data processing apparatus by the client - the data processing apparatus for data processing to the server _ apparatus transmits an electronic query to the server _ data processing storage means on the image data sent to the client _ data processing apparatus as a response to an electronic query.通过这种方式，所需要的数据不是连续地传送，而是应客户机_数据处理装置的调用才传送。 In this manner, the required data is not transmitted continuously, but instead should call the client _ data processing apparatus before transmission.由此可以保持较小的传送数据量，并因此将通过传送该数据而对通信连接施加的负担保持得较小，因为只是根据客户机_数据处理装置的特殊调用才传送图像数据。 It can be kept small amount of transfer data, and thus transmitting the data through kept small burden applied to the communication connection, because it transmits only the image data on a special call _ client data processing apparatus.[0008] 本发明方法的另一优选实施方式在于，图像采集装置以预定时间间隔采集图像数据。 [0008] Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is that the method of the present embodiment, the image pickup apparatus at a predetermined time interval to acquire image data.这种图像采集装置例如还可以称为“Web-Cam”（网络照相机），是一种比较便宜的数码相机。 This image acquisition device may be also referred to as "Web-Cam" (network camera), it is a relatively inexpensive digital camera.Web-Cam以可调节的时间间隔提供单张图像，并将这些图像例如以JPEG格式传送给服务器-数据处理装置。 Web-Cam adjustable time interval to provide a single image, for example, and transmits the images in the JPEG format to the server - a data processing apparatus.

[0009] 可替换地，图像采集装置还作为连续图像采集图像数据。 [0009] Alternatively, the image acquisition device further image data acquired as a continuous image.通过该方式可以特别有利地用摄像机采集连续图像。 It can be particularly advantageously used to capture the image by the camera this way.在这种替换方式中传送给服务器-数据处理装置的图像数据量当然大于单张图像采集的情况。 In this alternative embodiment the transfer to the server - the amount of the image data processing apparatus, of course, larger than a single image acquisition.

[0010] 本发明方法的另一个优选实施方式在于，客户机-数据处理装置显示技术设备的示意图，其中各个设备部件在所示出的示意图中对应于相应的部件图，并且该部件图具有可选择的关联，在选择了一个关联之后将属于相应部件图的设备部件的图像数据传送给客户机-数据处理装置。 [0010] Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is that the method of the present embodiment, the client - a schematic view of a data processing equipment display device, wherein each member corresponds to a schematic view of the device shown in FIG member to the respective, and which member has FIG. selected correlation, after selecting the image data belonging to an associated member of the respective member device is transmitted to the client of FIG. - data processing apparatus.通过该方式可以在多个利用图像采集装置监控的设备部件中减少从服务器-数据处理装置向客户机-数据处理装置发送的图像数据量，其方法是只传送属于所选择的设备部件的图像数据。 A plurality of devices may utilize components of the image acquisition device from the server to monitor in this manner to reduce - the amount of image data of the image data transmitted from the data processing apparatus, it is only the transmitting device belonging to the selected component - the data processing apparatus to the client .也就是说不必一直向客户机-数据处理装置传送所有设备部件的图像数据，而只是传送选定的设备部件的图像数据。 That is not necessary to have the client - the data processing apparatus transmits the image data of all the apparatus components, but only the device transmitting member selected image data.

[0011] 本发明方法的另一个优选实施方式在于，在改变设备部件的状态时自动将属于该设备部件的图像数据传送给客户机-数据处理装置并在那里作为图像显示。 [0011] Another preferred embodiment of the method of the present invention is that the image data when the state changing device to automatically member belonging to the member device is transmitted to the client - the data processing device and displayed as an image there.通过该方式例如可以在设备部件发生干扰时自动将相应的图像数据传送给客户机-数据处理装置以用于显示。 Can be automatically transferred by corresponding image data in this manner, for example, when a device from interfering member to the client - the data processing means for display.这样可以在客户机-数据处理装置上非常快速地通知操作人员。 This client - very quickly notify the operator of the data processing apparatus.

[0012] 在该关联下还可以在采用请求-响应通信协议、尤其是采用HTTP协议的情况下， 在改变设备部件的状态时将属于该设备部件的图像数据首先存储在服务器-数据处理装置上，并在下一次客户机_数据处理装置调用图像数据时将存储的数据自动传送给客户机_数据处理装置。 [0012] may also be in the request for adoption in this association - response communication protocol, especially in the case of the HTTP protocol, when the changing device member state belonging to the equipment component image data is first stored in a server - the data processing means , and the next time the client _ data processing apparatus calls the image data stored in the data is automatically transferred to the client _ data processing apparatus.由于在所谓的“请求_响应”通信协议中数据从服务器_数据处理装置向客户机_数据处理装置的传送只是应客户机_数据处理装置的要求才可能，因此在这种情况下所产生的图像数据首先临时存储在服务器-数据处理装置上，并在下次调用时传送给客户机-数据处理装置。 _ Since the transmission to the client data processing apparatus from the data processing apparatus in a so-called server _ "_ Request Response" communication protocol is only required to be _ client data processing apparatus it may be, so in this case produced in the first image data is temporarily stored server - the data processing device and send it to the client on the next call - data processing apparatus.客户机-数据处理装置可以例如以预定规则的或非规则的时间间隔从服务器-数据处理装置调用图像数据，以便总是具有尽可能当前的数据状态。 The client - the data processing means may, for example, regular or predetermined time intervals from the rule server - data processing apparatus calls the image data, so as to always have as a current data state.

[0013] 上述技术问题还通过用于监控和/或控制技术设备的自动化系统解决，其具有用于产生该技术设备的至少一个设备部件的图像数据的图像采集装置，其中该自动化系统具有其中存储所产生的图像数据的服务器-数据处理装置，以及客户机_数据处理装置，借助该客户机_数据处理装置调用存储在服务器_数据处理装置中的图像数据以显示在该客户机_数据处理装置上。 [0013] The technical problem is also solved by automated systems for monitoring and / or control devices, image pickup apparatus having image data of at least one member of the apparatus for generating the technical equipment, wherein the automation system has stored therein server the generated image data - data processing apparatus, and a client _ data processing apparatus, with which the client invokes the stored machine _ data processing apparatus the image data in the server _ data processing means to display the data processed in the client _ means on.在这种自动化系统中，基于该系统的服务器_客户机结构可以从几乎任意地方访问服务器_数据处理装置。 In such automated systems, the server _ client-based architecture of the system can be almost anywhere from the data processing device access server _.

[0014] 本发明自动化系统的优选实施方式在于，图像采集装置实施为采集单张图像。 Preferred embodiment of the automation system [0014] The present invention in that the image acquisition device is implemented as a single image acquisition.可替换地，还可以将图像采集装置实施为采集连续图像。 Alternatively, the image pickup apparatus may also be implemented as a continuous image acquisition.

[0015] 为了进一步解释本发明，在附图中给出用于监控技术设备的至少一个设备部件的方法和自动化系统的实施例。 [0015] For further explanation of the present invention, the drawings are given technical equipment for monitoring at least embodiments of the method and a device of the automation system components.在此示出： Shown here:

[0017] 图2示出显示在自动化系统的客户机-数据处理装置上的显示屏显示的示例实施方式。 [0017] FIG. 2 shows a display on a client automation system - an example of a display screen displayed on a data processing apparatus according to the embodiment.[0018] 图1示意性示出以能量分配设备如开关板形式的技术设备，其中在图1中代表性地只示出了变压器1。 [0018] FIG. 1 schematically shows an energy distribution equipment devices such as switches in the form of plate, in which FIG 1 representatively shows only one transformer.除了示出的变压器1之外，在所述开关板上例如还可以具有功率开关、控制和保护设备、电容器以及其它为清楚起见而没有在此示出的设备部件。 In addition to the transformer 1 is shown, for example, the switch plate may also have a power switch, control and protection devices, capacitor devices, and other components, for clarity, not shown here.在开关板上还设置有例如照相机形式的图像采集装置，在此示例性示出图像采集装置2a至2d。 In the switch plate is also provided with a camera, for example, in the form of image pickup apparatus, shown in this exemplary image pickup devices 2a to 2d.如通过虚线所示的，在开关板上不仅可以具有4个所示的图像采集装置，还可以具有任意多个图像采集装置。 As shown by the broken line, the switch board may have not only the image pickup apparatus shown in FIG. 4, it may also have any of a plurality of image capture devices.图像采集装置2a对准变压器1，而其它图像采集装置2b至2d可以对准图中没有示出的其它设备部件。 2a alignment image capture device 1 of the transformer, and the other image pickup devices 2b to 2d may be aligned not shown in the other components of the device out.

[0019] 图像采集装置2a至2d通过数据导线3与服务器-数据处理装置4连接。 [0019] The image pickup apparatus and the server 2a to 2d 3 via a data line - connected to the data processing apparatus 4.代之以有线连接的数据导线3，图像采集装置2a至2d还可以通过无线通信连接与服务器_数据处理装置4通信。 Instead wired data line 3 connected to the image acquisition apparatus 2a to 2d may also be connected to the server via the wireless communication processing apparatus 4 _ data communication.服务器-数据处理装置4与网络5(如企业内部网络或互联网）连接。 Server - data processing apparatus 4 5 is connected to a network (e.g., intranet or Internet).可以借助客户机_数据处理装置6a和6b访问网络5，在此示例性示出膝上型电脑和桌面PC。 The client can use the data processing _ means 6a and 6b visited network 5, in this example shows a laptop and desktop PC.客户机_数据处理装置6a和6b可以通过有线连接或无线的通信连接与该网络连接。 The client data processing _ means 6a and 6b may be connected through a wired or wireless communication connection with the network.除了示出的客户机_数据处理装置6a和6b之外，还可以采用其它相应地实施为客户机_数据处理装置的设备，如所谓的PDA (Personal Digital Assistant，个人数字助理）或移动电话。 _ In addition to the client data processing means 6a and 6b show the other data processing device client _ accordingly embodied apparatus may also be employed, such as a so-called PDA (Personal Digital Assistant, a personal digital assistant) or a mobile phone.在此，采用的客户机-数据处理装置还可以是中央控制台的部件。 Here, using the client - the data processing device may also be part of the center console.

[0020] 图像采集装置2a至2d、服务器-数据处理装置4、网络5和客户机-数据处理装置6a和6b是自动化系统的部件，该自动化系统除了在图1中示出的部件之外还具有其它部件，如其它传感器和测量装置、控制和保护装置以及用于执行该开关板中的控制和调节操作的执行器。 [0020] The image pickup devices 2a to 2d, the server - 4 and the network client data processing apparatus 5 - data processing means 6a and 6b are parts of the automation system, the automation system in addition to the components shown in FIG. 1 are also with other components, such as sensors and other measuring devices, and to perform control and protection means for performing control of the switch plate and the adjustment operation.原理上，利用该自动化系统可以控制和监控技术设备；借助图像采集装置2a至2d对设备部件的光学监控只是自动化系统的一个子功能。 In principle, the use of the automatic system can control and monitor equipment; by means of an image acquisition apparatus 2a to 2d of the optical monitoring equipment member is just a sub-function automation system.通常，借助特殊的自动化软件来控制这样的自动化系统。 In general, the aid of special automated software to control such automated systems.

[0021] 下面描述用于监控开关板的设备部件的方法，该方法由图1所示的自动化系统的部件来执行。 Method [0021] The following describes an apparatus for monitoring the switch plate member, the method is performed by components of an automation system 1 shown in FIG.

[0022] 由图像采集装置2a拍摄变压器1的图像，并以图像数据的形式通过数据导线3传送给服务器-数据处理装置4。 [0022] The image captured by the transformer 1 image acquisition means 2a, and in the form of image data by a data line 3 to the server - the data processing apparatus 4.在服务器-数据处理装置4上存储该图像数据。 Stores the image data on a data processing apparatus 4 - server.在需要时该图像数据也可以压缩的形式存储在服务器_数据处理装置4中，以节省服务器-数据处理装置上的存储空间。 When the image data required to be stored in compressed form in the server data processing apparatus 4 _ to save server - storage space on a data processing apparatus.为此可以采用公知的图像数据压缩格式如JPEG。 For this purpose a known image data compression formats such as JPEG.

[0023] 类似地，利用开关板中具有的其它图像采集装置2b至2d拍摄开关板的其它设备部件的图像，将相应的图像数据传送给服务器_数据处理装置4并存储在那里。 [0023] Similarly, with other image acquisition device has a switch plate 2b to 2d in the image capturing apparatus of other components of the switch board, the server data processing device transmits _ image data corresponding to the 4 and stored therein.

[0025] 图像采集装置2a至2d例如可以是用于以特定的时间间隔采集单张图像的图像采集装置。 [0025] The image pickup apparatus 2a to 2d can be for example a specific time interval acquired image capture apparatus of single image.例如，可以每10秒拍摄相应设备部件的图像数据并存储在服务器-数据处理装置4上。 For example, the respective system component can take every 10 seconds and the image data stored in the server - the data processing apparatus 4.在这种情况下，在客户机-数据处理装置6a和6b上显示不连续的图像显示，其例如每10秒更新一次。 In this case, the client - the data processing means 6a and 6b show the discontinuous image display, for example, is updated every 10 seconds.

[0026] 可替换地，图像采集装置2a至2d也可以连续方式采集设备部件的图像数据，从而可以在客户机-数据处理装置6a和6b上所谓“实况地”、即连续地观察开关板上发生的事情。 [0026] Alternatively, the image acquisition means 2a to 2d may be the image data acquisition device member in a continuous manner, so that the client can - data processing means 6a and 6b on the so-called "live land", i.e. observed continuously switch plate Things that happened.

[0027] 在两种情况下都可以将过去的图像数据在服务器_数据处理装置4上经过一定的时间之后就删除，以便为新拍摄的图像数据提供存储空间。 [0027] can be the last server in the image data processing _ means in both cases the data is deleted after a certain time elapses 4, in order to provide storage space for new image data is captured.

[0028] 通过对技术设备的图像监控，操作人员可以在客户机_数据处理装置6a和6b上非常舒适地观察开关板上发生的事情，并且可以快速识别例如特定的干扰情况。 [0028] By monitoring the image of the equipment, the operator can observe a very comfortable switch board what happens at the client data processing _ means 6a and 6b, and may, for example, to quickly identify a specific interference.从而例如可以借助显示在客户机_数据处理装置6a和6b上的变压器的图像快速识别变压器1的机械损坏。 Thus, for example by means of a display image of the transformer at the client data processing _ means 6a and 6b quickly identify mechanical damage transformer 1.[0029] 通常，不需要不断地将存储在服务器_数据处理装置4上的所有图像数据传送给客户机_数据处理装置6a和6b。 [0029] Generally, need not continue all the image data stored on the server data processing apparatus _ 4 _ transmitting to the client data processing means 6a and 6b.例如可以由客户机_数据处理装置借助通过网络5发送给服务器_数据处理装置4的电子查询来请求存储的图像数据，作为对该查询的响应由服务器_数据处理装置4将存储的图像数据发送给相应的客户机_数据处理装置。 For example, by means of data processing by the client apparatus _ via a network 5 transmits to the server data processing device for an electronic query _ 4 to request the image data stored, transmitted as a response to the query image data from the server data processing apparatus 4 _ the stored _ to the respective client data processing apparatus.此外还可以借助该电子查询只将选定的一个或多个设备部件的图像数据从服务器_数据处理装置4 发送给相应的客户机_数据处理装置。 Further means may also query the electronic image data of only selected parts of one or more devices to a respective client data processing apparatus 4 from a _ _ the server data processing apparatus.

[0030] 为此例如可以在客户机-数据处理装置6a和6b的显示装置上显示技术设备的示意图，如框图。 [0030] For this purpose, for example, in a client - it shows a schematic diagram of equipment, such as a block diagram of a data processing apparatus on a display unit 6a and 6b.该示意图在此例如由单个部件图（例如针对开关、变压器等的符号）组成， 其中这些部件图分别对应于技术设备的真实设备部件。 In this schematic example, a single component images (e.g. symbols for switches, transformers, etc.), where these members correspond to the real device of FIG member technical equipment.通过例如借助在客户机-数据处理装置上的鼠标点击而选择所示出的一个部件图，可以激活允许服务器_数据处理装置4恰好将对应于选定的部件图的图像数据传送给相应客户机_数据处理装置的关联。 For example, by means of a client - a member of FIG mouse click on the selected data processing apparatus shown, may be activated to allow the server data processing apparatus 4 _ exactly corresponding to the selected image data transfer means to the respective client FIG. _ the associated data processing apparatus.

[0031] 这在图2中进行了详细解释。 [0031] This is explained in detail in FIG.在图2中示例性地示出自动化软件的显示屏显示的可能视图。 Shown in FIG automation software 2 may exemplarily displayed on the screen view.通常自动化软件安装在服务器_数据处理装置上并在那里执行，从而在客户机-数据处理装置上只需要安装网页浏览器，利用该浏览器访问自动化软件。 Automation software is usually installed on a server _ data processing device and executed there, so the client - access data processing automation software need only a web browser installed on the device, use the browser.但也可以考虑将自动化软件安装在客户机-数据处理装置上并在那里执行。 It is also conceivable to automate the software installed on the client - data processing device and executed there.在这种情况下不需要网页浏览器。 It does not require a web browser in this case.在下面的例子中以首先提到的情况为基础。 In the following examples, only first-mentioned case basis.

[0033] 浏览器窗口11又具有多个单独的窗口，例如设置窗口12 “Settings”、工具窗口13 “Tools”和控制窗口14 “Control”。 [0033] The browser window 11 also has a plurality of separate window, such as setting the window 12 "Settings", tool window 13 "Tools" and control window 14 "Control".设置窗口12和工具窗口13在图2中为简化起见示为空的。 Window setting window 12 and the tool 13 in FIG. 2 for simplicity shown as empty.在此例如可以具有用于操作自动化软件的设置选项和工具选项。 In this example, you can set the options and tools have options available for operation automation software.利用控制窗口14可以从结构化的树图中-如由Microsoft WindowsExplorer™公开的-选择由自动化系统监控的技术设备的不同组件。 Window 14 may be utilized to control the structure of the tree - such as disclosed by the Microsoft WindowsExplorer ™ - selected by the different components of the automation technology system monitoring equipment.
